Legend Of Bret Maverick

Recommended Posts

He was born in east Texas
He and his brother Bart
Took advice from his pappy
Fought in the Civil War
Joined the Union later on
Brought Injuns under control
Always had a sense of humor
Got him through each episode

The Legend Of Bret Maverick
Still alive in the old west
Thousand dollars inside his coat
When it came to poker, he was best
Made his living with a deck of cards
Never tempted to work a lick
James Garner knew all about
The Legend Of Bret Maverick

Touring the west in a stagecoach
St. Louis to Denver to San Fran
Samantha Crawford, Melanie Blake
Old Bret was a ladies' man
He always played an honest game
Swindling only the bad guys
Gentleman Jack Darby, Dandy Jim Buckley
Grafters paid for their villainous lies

The Legend Of Bret Maverick
Still alive in the old west
Thousand dollars inside in his coat
When it came to poker, he was best
Made his living with a deck of cards
Never tempted to work a lick
James Garner knew all about
The Legend Of Bret Maverick

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
